Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety light grid for monitoring a Protective field according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such light grids for safety technology are used for example for Safeguarding dangerous machines, such as press brakes, Punching machines, cutting tools, welding robots and the like.
  • the Safety light curtain protects against inadmissible intrusion into Danger areas by the protective field spanned by the light grid on Injury by an object is monitored. If the protective field is injured that gives Safety light grid from a corresponding signal that z. B. a shutdown of can cause a dangerous machine.
  • DIP switches for configuration known, but the Disadvantage that they can only be operated by a professional and the are arranged inside the device. For setting is therefore always an opening of the device necessary.
  • safety light curtains are known in which the configuration can be set via a graphical user interface. This is needed on the one hand a computer or a PLC and a corresponding interface at the light grid for connection to the computer or the PLC. This is true given a comfortable input, but disadvantageously it requires it a high effort. There must be an accessory, such as a PC and a Device communication interface are provided.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a light grid of Initially specified type, the simple and cost-effective manner is configurable.
  • the safety light grid according to the invention for monitoring a protective field has a light emitting bar and a light receiving bar, so that a plurality parallel to each other and the protective field forming photocells are formed.
  • a control and evaluation unit that controls the individual photocells and is evaluated when one or more light barriers are interrupted by a Object a warning signal derivable.
  • about configuration means the light grid is present configurable for use. According to the invention, the configuration means are formed by two input elements and at least one display element.
  • the essential advantage of the invention is that the input of Configuration data on the one hand very easy, fast and comfortable over only two Input elements and on the other hand, that no additional devices, such as PC, Device communication interface or the like may be needed.
  • easy Functions can be selected and deselected or offer a choice. It are not complex or varied attitudes.
  • the inventive design is correspondingly inexpensive.
  • control and Evaluation unit designed such that the input of configuration data via the input elements are fail-safe. That means a static signal on one of the input elements, eg. B. by holding a button or a incorrect actuation of the input elements by the control and evaluation unit is recognizable and does not lead to a configuration change.
  • buttons are also very easy to use.
  • seven-segment displays are used in light curtains to display Operating conditions used, so that advantageously such for the Display of configuration parameters is usable.
  • the Configuration means integrated into the light receiving bar. Thereby can additional devices can be saved.
  • configuration data For an intuitive and understandable input of configuration data is one of Input elements for selecting a function and the other for selecting the selected function.
  • a light grid 10 has a light emitting strip 12, which has a Row side by side arranged light emitter 14 and has a Light receiving bar 16 corresponding to the light emitters 14, also has juxtaposed light receiver 18. Opposite each Light transmitter 14 and light receiver 18 form in a known manner Variety of mutually parallel photocells 20, the light beam in Fig. 1 by dashed lines is shown.
  • the light grid 10 with its light barriers 20th thus defines between transmission bar 12 and receiving bar 16 a Monitoring area with a protective field 21.
  • the light grid 10 continues at least one control and evaluation unit. In the illustrated Embodiment is both in the transmitting 12 and in the receiving bar 16th at least one control and evaluation unit 22 or 24 each provided.
  • the Control and evaluation unit 22 controls the individual light emitter 14 of Transmit bar 12 and the control and evaluation unit 24 controls the receiving bar the light receiver 18 and evaluates their signals, so that when interrupted one or more light barriers 20 by an object a warning signal from the Control and evaluation unit 24 can be derived. This signal can also be used for Shutting down a dangerous machine.
  • the basic operation of such a light grid is z. B. in the DE 38 03 033 A1 describes.
  • the individual light barriers 20 of the light grid 10 are activated cyclically in turn.
  • the light emitter 14 and Light receiver 18 by optical means via, for example, the first and / or last photocell synchronized, so that always the one currently sending Light transmitter opposite light receiver is activated.
  • an electrical connection between the transmission bar 12 and the Receiver bar 16 not necessary.
  • the two input elements which are designed as buttons 26 and 28 and a display element configured as a seven-segment display 30, include.
  • the light grid has to be put in the configuration mode, ie the Enable configuration mode.
  • the configuration mode ie the Enable configuration mode.
  • both buttons 26 and 28 pressed simultaneously for a certain period of time.
  • Other activations are possible. So z. B. both buttons twice in a row simultaneously be pressed and released.
  • the button 26 must now be pressed until the aforementioned icon for the range setting appears. Then, via the second button 28, the range, ie the desired function value, to select. For example, if two different ranges "high” and “low” are adjustable and the higher range is to be set, the key 28 is to be pressed as often as, for example, the symbol appears.
  • a further function to be configured can now be selected by pressing the key 26 or the configuration mode can be ended.
  • a termination occurs in that with the first button 26, the function "exit configuration", which is displayed for example by the symbol is selected and then selected with the second button 28, whether the entered configuration is saved and the configuration mode is to be left or whether the entered configuration should not be saved and exit the configuration mode.
  • the second button 28 first to select whether to be saved or not, what the symbols and is shown, Then, by pressing the button 28 twice, the selected function is executed and the configuration mode is exited.
  • a special feature is the design of the control and evaluation, so that a fail-safe input is guaranteed. This ensures that For example, a permanent pressing a button or a wrong Keystroke sequence does not cause an unwanted configuration is set.
